Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

"So, have you ever killed anyone?" Yoshino Junpei asked, turning his back and rummaging through the counter under the TV in the living room.

"No..." Yuji Itadori subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he recalled that the monster transformed from a human that he had injured not long ago died quickly, he nodded with a slightly solemn expression: "I think so."

"What does it feel like to kill someone?" Yoshino Junpei asked.

"I was a little scared." Yuji Itadori clenched his fists silently and recalled: "My heart beat much faster than usual, my breathing became very heavy, and when I closed my eyes, the scene of that person's death would flash through my mind."

"However, the situation of the person I killed was somewhat special. Rather than killing him, it would be more accurate to say that I helped him get rid of his suffering."

"No, murder is murder, there is no point in arguing!"

At first, Yuji Itadori wanted to find a reasonable excuse to justify his murder in front of his friends, but he immediately strengthened his will and admitted it!

"Is this so..."

"But you will eventually have to fight against bad sorcerers. What will you do then?" Yoshino Junpei bent over and fiddled with the CD player. He continued to ask without turning back.

"..."

Yuji Itadori lowered his head in silence, and after a long while he replied: "Even so, I still don't want to kill anyone."

"Why?" Yoshino Junpei looked back in confusion: "He's a bad guy."

"How should I put it..." Yuji Itadori lowered his head: "I feel that as long as I kill seriously once, the option of 'killing' will invade my life."

"The value of life will become unclear, and even the value of important people will become unclear."

“I’m afraid of becoming that kind of person…”

Yoshino Junpei pursed his lips and wanted to refute something, but he was unable to open his mouth smoothly. He didn't know how to convince himself.

Two and a half hours passed quickly.

After reviewing "Earthworm 2" together and seeing off Yuji Itadori, Yoshino Junping lay back on the bed in his room, looking at the dazzling lights on the ceiling, raised his hand to block them, feeling confused.

'People have no heart.'

'I was saved by this idea.'

'He gave me strength.'

"But if I kill someone, it will taint her soul." Yoshino Junpei's gentle smile flashed through his mind, and Yoshino Junpei turned to lie on his side, tears in his eyes: "I... can't kill anyone."

Tokyo Technical College.

"Yamabuki, you could have ignored those thugs, why did you have to kill them? You - ah!" Yega Zhengdao looked at Yamabuki Otome with disappointment.

Yamabuki Otome said nonchalantly: "Kill them if you want. Why should you hold back against those scumbags?"

Yizhidi Jiegao originally wanted to help explain a few words, but Leyansi Jiashen stood beside him with his crutches and looked at him fiercely, which scared him so much that he quickly shut up to avoid being implicated.

Boom!

"Otome, this is outrageous!"

"Youren just passed away not long ago. Do you think there is no one to supervise you?" Leyanji Jiashen raised the crutch in his hand and pretended to hit Yamabuki Otome.

Yamabuki Otome just smiled and didn't resist.

however.

The crutches still didn't fall down.

Because Xia Youjie appeared in time with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and firmly grasped the tip of the stick.

"Varied--"

Yueyan Temple Jiashen tried hard to pull out the crutch, but he failed even after he exerted so much strength that his face turned red.

Xia Yujie only exerted a little force.

Click!

Crutches broken.

Leyan Temple Jiashen immediately lost his strength and fell backwards.

It was probably because Yizhi Dijiegao didn't want the situation to be too ugly, so he lent a hand to help him, which prevented him from falling flat on his face.

"Xia Youjie, are you trying to bend the law for personal gain?!" Yue Yansi Jiashen opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily.

"It is reasonable that Otome is a magician from our Kyoto lineage. She must be severely punished for committing such a serious mistake!"

Hear the words.

Xia Youjie, who hadn't rested for a long time, narrowed his eyes and sneered. A dark mosaic floated behind him. He was too lazy to waste time talking to Leyanji Jiashen.

If Otome-san is not comfortable with taking action against her elders, then he will do it...

'Um? '

Be stunned for a moment.

A happy smile appeared on Geto Xiayou's face.

The mosaic behind him returned to silence again.

Everyone is puzzled.

But the next moment.

It becomes clear.

Rumble!

There was a sudden roar not far away.

Followed by.

The giant hidden barrier with Tianyuan as the core and occupying most of the high school was violently broken.

A giant scarlet armored warrior that reached from the sky to the ground came into view.

He hovered high in the sky, raised his head and let out a roar!

It seemed like he was venting his anger after waking up after sleeping for a long time.

There is also some inexplicable resentment mixed in.

"Roar--"

boom!

boom! !

boom! ! !

All the hard and brittle glass and porcelain products inside the Tokyo Polytechnic Institute shattered, and even the bluestone floor under everyone's feet could not escape the fate of cracking.

a long time.

In the future, this kilometer-high "Blood Godly Power·Susanoo·Complete Form" finally dissipated after lasting for nearly two months.

However, he did not leave the state of "Chaos Extreme Control". Instead, he slowly floated down to the side of Yamabuki Otome and looked at Rakuganji Yoshinobu with a fierce look.

Without moving his lips, his cold voice echoed in everyone's mind.

"She's under my protection, understand?"

Say it.

Mirai placed his hand on Yamabuki Otome's head and stroked it twice like a cat, then his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere else.

He did not give any other instructions regarding the matter of Yamabuki Otome, as he had already made it very clear just now.

"Really~"

"Zenyuan Sensai~"

Yamabuki Otome pouted in dissatisfaction, then smoothed her messed up hair with a smile.

Seeing that Mirai woke up so suddenly and left in such a hurry, Xia Youjie shrugged helplessly and looked into the eyes of Le Yansi Jiashen.

After the bloodshot eyes and the blue veins on the latter's forehead swelled to the limit, he fell back and fell into a baby-like sleep.

this time.

But no one helped him.

The only reliable person, Yizhidi Jiegao, was still staring blankly in the direction where the future was leaving, without reacting.

……

late at night.

Yoshinoya.

Junpei Yoshino tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

All I could think about was Yuji Itadori's views on killing.

He simply got up, put on a coat and went out.

In a familiar direction.

A quarter of an hour after he left.

A black-feathered crow with lively eyes that looked like an ordinary person flew into Yoshinoya through the window sill, holding an object covered with talismans.

After placing the object wrapped in the talisman on the table, the black-feathered crow's mouth curled up into an extremely human and cunning arc.

Its gaze lingered on Yoshino Nagi's room for a moment.

Subsequently.

Extend a claw.

Make a stroke on the talisman.

A neat gap was left behind.

It looked like it could be freed with a little effort.

After doing all this, the black-feathered crow flew away swiftly through the windowsill from which it came, leaving behind the mysterious object that was about to break due to the talisman it was wrapped around.
